-->'''Shake:''' They should focus more on the natural beauty instead of the horror.

[[SincerityMode However]], Canada is more socially advanced than the United States. Homosexuality has been condoned in Canada for longer than in the United States, LGBT rights are more comprehensive and are applicable nationwide[[note]]so any attempt to CureYourGays is illegal here[[/note]], Canada has free universal health care [[note]]except when it comes to pharmacare (although Canada is known for having genericized prescription drugs in large quantities) and dental care[[/note]], cannabis is fully legal nationwide[[note]]so feel free to FourTwentyBlazeIt here[[/note]], multiculturalism is made law, public transit does not have as much negative stigma, gun control is stricter[[note]]so not EveryoneIsArmed here[[/note]] and MoralGuardians have very little influence in Canadian popular media[[note]]though video game ratings from the UsefulNotes/EntertainmentSoftwareRatingBoard are legally binding in some Canadian provinces, such as Manitoba and Ontario, unlike in the United States[[/note]].

** It is later revealed in ''Literature/TheTrialsOfApollo'' that Kayla Knowles, the daughter of Apollo and an AscendedExtra, is also Canadian, though her origins are barely elaborated beyond her [[HasTwoMommies mortal father]] being a notable archery coach.

* The ''WesternAnimation/KingOfTheHill'' episode "Uh Oh, Canada" had a family of Canadians staying in Boomhauer's place while he was on vacation. They're a much less flattering depiction of Canadians, being [[PassiveAggressive passive-aggressively rude]] and condescending to everyone and covering it up with [[BitchInSheepsClothing a facade of fake niceness]], even going so far as [[SeriousBusiness to put down on Hank's lawn]]. The episode also depicts Boomhauer meeting up with a French speaker in Guelph, Ontario, very improbable (though not impossible) in real life, and them kayaking with mountains in the background - something which, as anyone who has been to Ontario will tell you, the province lacks. [[note]]Guelph is rather hilly, and is close to the Niagara Escarpment, but it's not ''that'' hilly.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TurningRed'' takes place in Toronto, Ontario,[[note]]Toronto's the provincial capital of Ontario and the largest-populated city in Canada[[/note]] and is directed by a Canadian who grew up there so naturally it is filled to the brim with Canadian references. To start, there are plenty of shots of the CN Tower and 4*Town[[note]]the film's fictional all-Canadian boyband[[/note]] is scheduled to perform at the [=SkyDome=][[note]]today known as the Rogers Centre[[/note]]. A Daisy Mart convenience store is a recurring location. Toronto Transit Commission streetcars are seen frequently as are Canadian mailboxes and Ontario license plates. There is mention of hosers, Celine Dion, loonies, 3 provinces[[note]]namely Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan; the three prairie provinces[[/note]] and "grade 8"[[note]]as opposed to 8th grade[[/note]]. Mei wears a maple-leaf shirt to bed, wears a toque with a maple-leaf design to school, has a Canadian flag pin button on her bag and has a Canadian flag sticker on her flute case. Ming sets a box of Tim Horton's donut holes on the table for breakfast; they also turn up at a party. Other foods like poutine, bagged milk, ketchup chips, and maple syrup also show up. Mei's school (named after Prime Minister Lester B. Pearson) features Canadian flags flying at its entrance, a classroom with a large Canadian flag on the wall, a music classroom with the first 4 bars of the national anthem on the wall, a French classroom, a beaver as its mascot and an announcement board stating that it's Canadian Indigenous People's History Month. Period accurate Canadian money[[note]]though with different designs on the coins[[/note]] is seen. Background characters are seen wearing clothing with maple leaves, Canadian flags, the phrase "oot & aboot", or referencing loons or the province of UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}}. Ming has a moose bobblehead. Sports teams referenced include the Toronto Blue Jays[[note]]a blue jay appears outside the [=SkyDome=][[/note]], the Toronto Raptors[[note]]Tyler wears a jersey matching the number and colour scheme of Vince Carter[[/note]] and the Toronto Maple Leafs[[note]]a stuffed bear of Carlton, the Toronto Maple Leaf's mascot, appears[[/note]]. A FictionalCounterpart version of the ''Creator/MuchMusic'' logo appears. Phone numbers are seen that use the "416" area code. A billboard ad for Air Canada is seen. Even the 3 opening trash receptacles and automated parking meters are accurate to Toronto. Finally, there's one person who actually say "Eh?" in the movie, the guy at the [=SkyDome=] ticket booth.[[note]]"Eh?" is actually pretty uncommon in urban Toronto, being more of a suburban/rural exclamation.[[/note]]

* ''WesternAnimation/LifesAZoo'': Not a stereotype, but Jake being Canadian is the first thing we learn about him. Jake also has a notable accent when he says "about" and "sorry". The French dub translates this by making him speak with a very thick Quebec accent, making him stand out from the other characters that still speak regional variations of French, but they either sound more standardized or like actual foreigners.

* ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'''s cast is mostly Canadian, but only first-generation contestant Ezekiel behaves according to the stereotypes. The Canadian-produced show itself has numerous Canadian references, though, especially in the locale-specific ''[[NewSeasonNewName World Tour]]'' season and ''[[WesternAnimation/TotalDramaPresentstheRidonculousRace Ridonculous Race]]'' spinoff, both of which featured several Canadian provinces as some of the destinations the contestants traveled to.

* In ''VideoGame/Sly2BandOfThieves'', the Klaww Gang member Jean Bison is a Canadian lumberjack, and his levels feature all sorts of Canadian stereotypes, such as log rolling, lots of snow, moose, accents, and flannel. In his case, his antiquated beliefs are due to him being a lumberjack of the 18th century [[HumanPopsicle who was put on ice for a century]].

* '''The prairie''', which has wheat. Lots of wheat. Barns in fields of wheat. Grain elevators in fields of wheat. Also some trees and lakes, and quirky towns where you can stop for gas, and maybe a curling rink. And then more wheat.

* '''UsefulNotes/{{Quebec}}''', full of artsy, ill-tempered, [[FrenchJerk stuck up francophones]] who believe English is tongue of the devil (unless you're in Montreal) and hate the people in the other parts of North America and the people in France (due to their language differences, no less). Abandoned by France in favor of the Caribbean, but who wouldn't, ''[[ForeignCussWord ostie de tabarnac]]''? Typically hated by northern New Englanders, who see them as more pretentious and annoying than "Mass-holes" or "Yorkers".

Eeeeeh, Canadians eat nothing but Kraft Dinner (which is Canadian for "macaroni and cheese"), Tim Hortons, doughnuts, poutine[[note]]French fries with cheese curds, and enough gravy to partially melt the cheese[[/note]], and Canadian... er... peameal bacon ("Canadian bacon" is actually completely different from peameal and you cannot actually get it in Canada). Anglophone Canadians all speak with a stereotyped [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Canadian_English West/Central Canadian English]] accent, putting "eh" [[VerbalTic at the end of questions or affirmations]][[note]]although [[UsefulNotes/NewZealand New Zealanders]] [[https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/113796639/why-do-new-zealanders-say-eh-so-much say "eh" more often than even the most stereotypical Canadian]], but again, not many people outside both New Zealand and the LandDownUnder know this[[/note]], and prominently raising the "ou" in aboot every word containing it. Also, as per the page image, Canadians are famed for shamelessly holding their maple syrup jugs on the ''non-handle side''.

[[UsefulNotes/CanucksWithChinooks The army]] consists of a guy with a BB gun mounted on a moose, the air force a paper airplane[[note]]and [[TooCoolToLive the Avro Arrow]][[/note]], the coast guard a guy with a pair of binoculars and a rope, and the navy a guy in a canoe with a slingshot.[[note]]Americans military personnel who have served with Canadians throw this trope around for jokes, but in reality, tend to see Canadians as a professional force. In fact, the Canadian army has [[https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/the-forgotten-ferocity-of-canadas-soldiers-in-the-great-war been quite aggressive]] in certain wars.[[/note]]

All policemen are [[UsefulNotes/TheMounties Mounties]], and they wear their red serge dress tunics and broad-brimmed Montana Peak hats constantly, even while on regular duty.

Canadian technology is always behind American tech.[[note]]Except of course, Canadarm, ATI, Corel Wordperfect, the telephone and Alexander Graham Bell himself, the Blackberry, the Learjet, Creator/{{IMAX}} theaters, UsefulNotes/ToonBoom, wheelchair accessible buses, electric wheelchairs, snowmobiles, snowblowers, egg cartons, gas masks and the aforementioned Arrow...[[/note]] In fact, if it wasn't for the Americans they'd have no culture at all.

* Never explicitly confirmed, Froge from Blog/{{Froghand}}'s constant references to Canadian culture, British spelling (such as replacing z's with s's like in "realise", or using words like "colour", "honour", and "favourite"), liberal use of "eh", usage of Stephen Harper as [[https://froghand.neocities.org/buafy/2016-11.html#08 a stand-in]] for Donald Trump (where Harper was considered by many to be a horrible Prime Minister, as evidenced by his party's [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_federal_election,_2015 landslide defeat]] in the next election followed by his resignation), knowledge of [[https://froghand.neocities.org/buafy/2016-06.html#17 obscure Canadian laws]], his "Big Up" to legal opinions using a [[https://froghand.neocities.org/buafy/2016-10.html#15 Canadian judgement]], and criticisms of [[https://froghand.neocities.org/buafy/2016-10.html#24 the United States]] all point to a Canadian point-of-view, or at the very least somebody infatuated with the country.

* In the ''VideoGame/AdvanceWars'' series, Blue Moon resembles Canada about as much as it does Russia. Its national anthem, sung by Olaf in one of his winquotes, starts out "O, Blue Moon, my home and native land..."
* In ''VideoGame/{{Anachronox}}'', the Canadian Dollar became the standard currency ''of the galaxy'' due to "a freak of galactic economics".

* In ''VideoGame/ChampionsOnline'', the Canada area is presented as an icy heckhole gripped in the throes of [[InsistentTerminology NO ORDINARY STORM]] and contains the Hunter Patriots, terrorists planning on taking over the world employing weaponised versions of stereotypically Canadian things, like nanite-infused poutine. Its local superhero is Ravenspeaker, a first nations/luchador hybrid who doesn't wear trousers (when standing outside in the middle of the NO ORDINARY STORM).
* In ''VideoGame/{{Civilization}}'', Canada was represented by non-playable city-states of Vancouver, Quebec City and Toronto until the sixth entry's ''Gathering Storm'' expansion made it a full-fledged civilization. True to national stereotypes, Canada's unique improvement is an ice hockey rink, its unique unit is a Mountie, its leader ability enhances tundra terrain, and the legendary Canadian politeness is represented by its "Four Faces of Peace" ability that makes Canada unable to declare, or be the target of, surprise wars. Even the in-game Civilopedia entry for Canada leans into stereotypes at its end by apologizing for being unable to convey the full depth of its history and achievements.

** ''Literature/TheHeroesOfOlympus'': Frank Zhang is the first known Canadian-born Demigod, and is from North Vancouver. The questers visit his house in his debut novel, ''The Son of Neptune''.
--->'''Frank:''' [[PreAsskickingOneLiner Welcome to Canada, idiot.]]

* In ''Fanfic/{{XSGCOM}}'' Canada is described - admittedly in jest to simple-minded offworlders - as a DeathWorld. ‘They say [[FourStarBadass [Sharp's]]] homeland is a frozen wasteland where the icy wind would cut you to the bone and where water only ever falls as snow, like it does here upon the mountaintops yonder... ‘It is said the forests there are full of ferocious beasts with huge teeth and claws called bears, and that you must prove yourself worthy by defeating one with a traditional weapon of his tribe they call a hockey stick’

* ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory4'' features Duke Caboom, voiced by the Canadian Creator/KeanuReeves, a toy of "Canada's Greatest Daredevil". He has maple leaves all over his outfit and bike, his {{Leitmotif}} is O Canada, his previous owner was francophone, and his catchphrase is "Yes I Can-a-da". His commercial shows a hockey rink playset in the background.

In American media, UsefulNotes/{{Canada}} is [[QuirkyNeighbourCountry a sweet, quirky and slightly backwards version of America]].

* '''UsefulNotes/{{Toronto}}''': basically UsefulNotes/{{Chicago}} but cleaner—or as Creator/PeterUstinov put it, "UsefulNotes/{{New York|City}} run by the Swiss." Serves as Canada's own BigApplesauce in domestic productions and [[CaliforniaDoubling as a cheap stand-in for the original in American ones]]. Not actually the national capital, despite the fact many foreigners think it is. It's actually the provincial [[note]]"provinces" are Canada's version of states, ya hoser[[/note]] capital of Ontario. The CN Tower is its emblem. Toronto had a crack-smoking mayor named Rob Ford. [[UsefulNotes/TorontoSubway Toronto even has its own subway system]] with [[SinisterSubway an abandoned station]] used primarily for film shoots.
